Psalm 66 (WEBP)

[1] Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth!
[2] Sing to the glory of his name! Offer glory and praise!
[3] Tell God, “How awesome are your deeds! Through the greatness of your power, your enemies submit themselves to you.
[4] All the earth will worship you, and will sing to you; they will sing to your name.” Selah.
[5] Come, and see God’s deeds— awesome work on behalf of the children of men.
[6] He turned the sea into dry land. They went through the river on foot. There, we rejoiced in him.
[7] He rules by his might forever. His eyes watch the nations. Don’t let the rebellious rise up against him. Selah.
[8] Praise our God, you peoples! Make the sound of his praise heard,
[9] who preserves our life among the living, and doesn’t allow our feet to be moved.
[10] For you, God, have tested us. You have refined us, as silver is refined.
[11] You brought us into prison. You laid a burden on our backs.
[12] You allowed men to ride over our heads. We went through fire and through water, but you brought us to the place of abundance.
[13] I will come into your temple with burnt offerings. I will pay my vows to you,
[14] which my lips promised, and my mouth spoke, when I was in distress.
[15] I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat animals, with the offering of rams, I will offer bulls with goats. Selah.
[16] Come and hear, all you who fear God. I will declare what he has done for my soul.
[17] I cried to him with my mouth. He was extolled with my tongue.
[18] If I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord wouldn’t have listened.
[19] But most certainly, God has listened. He has heard the voice of my prayer.
[20] Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his loving kindness from me.

Young’s Literal Translation

Psalm 66 (YLT)

[1] Shout ye to God, all the earth.
[2] Praise ye the honour of His name, Make ye honourable His praise.
[3] Say to God, ‘How fearful are Thy works, By the abundance of Thy strength, Thine enemies feign obedience to Thee.
[4] All the earth do bow to Thee, They sing praise to Thee, they praise Thy name.’ Selah.
[5] Come ye, and see the works of God, Fearful acts toward the sons of men.
[6] He hath turned a sea to dry land, Through a river they pass over on foot, There do we rejoice in Him.
[7] Ruling by His might to the age, His eyes among the nations do watch, The refractory exalt not themselves. Selah.
[8] Bless, ye peoples, our God, And sound the voice of His praise,
[9] Who hath placed our soul in life, And suffered not our feet to be moved.
[10] For Thou hast tried us, O God, Thou hast refined us as the refining of silver.
[11] Thou hast brought us into a net, Thou hast placed pressure on our loins.
[12] Thou hast caused man to ride at our head. We have entered into fire and into water, And Thou bringest us out to a watered place.
[13] I enter Thy house with burnt-offerings, I complete to Thee my vows,
[14] For opened were my lips, And my mouth spake in my distress:
[15] ‘Burnt-offerings of fatlings I offer to Thee, With perfume of rams, I prepare a bullock with he-goats.’ Selah.
[16] Come, hear, all ye who fear God, And I recount what he did for my soul.
[17] Unto Him with my mouth I have called, And exaltation is under my tongue.
[18] Iniquity, if I have seen in my heart, The Lord doth not hear.
[19] But God hath heard, He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
[20] Blessed is God, Who hath not turned aside my prayer, And His loving-kindness, from me!
